We know, it hurts to lose something! We created Lost Found Thailand to help people in Patong Beach, or anywhere in Phuket to find lost items and get them back.
Sometimes locating lost items in Phuket is easier than you may think. Thai people are usually very good about returning lost items to their rightful owner. The problem is usually that they just don’t know who lost it, right?
That’s where we come in. When you file a Phuket lost and found report with us, we start the process to see if we can locate your item(s).

What Do We Do to Find Your Lost Items in Phuket?
Most of what we do in the first level of finding your lost Phuket items is a lot of phone work. We’ll call the bank if you left your ATM card there. We’ll call the airport to see if they can track down your item. We’ll call a store if you think you lost it there.
We also post to social media groups in the area to see if anyone has found your item. This happens fairly often. Someone finds an item and posts it on a locals group to see if anyone lost it.
What Is the Cost?
Let’s get the cost out of the way up front. We charge a very small fee of 300 Thai baht (about $8 USD) to start our initial investigation. Sometimes this is all that is needed. Sometimes we realize that your item won’t be found and we tell you that it wouldn’t make sense for us to continue to look. There are many reasons for this. Three hundred baht covers all of this. It’s quite a good deal we think, and we are able to find some items like this.
Are There Any Extra Costs Once We Find Your Item(s)?
If we do locate your item, at the airport for instance, and you are not in Thailand, we may have to go there and show copies of your ID, plane tickets, and anything else they ask for. They won’t mail your items or bring them to you, you’ll either have to go there to get them or we can possibly get them for you and mail them. This of course means we’ll need more money to get these things done.
We are not funded by Thailand, Phuket, or any other funding source. The little money we make is from investigating where your items may be and trying to get them returned to you. This usually involves a lot of phone work.
Before we drive to the Airport or start driving around anywhere to retrieve your found item, we’ll ask you for another payment. This will cover our time in going to retrieve the item for you, and mailing it.

What Are the Chances of Recovering a Lost Item in Phuket?
We just never know, to be honest. Sometimes it is just impossible to find something that someone took home and never told anyone about. It’s good to get your Lost Report in with us so we have it on file. There are people that contact us with found items all the time and we check our database to see if we have a match.
We made some notes about different lost items and what we’ve found over time. Check them out here:
